Anthem Memory Care

My husband has been at Autumn Leaves of Glen Ellyn for 9 mos and I am very pleased. At first it was so very hard for me to leave him here (and it still is sometimes!), but the staff, caregivers and others truly make it seem like a big family. They have taken very good care of him, and when I have concerns they are addressed immediately. All of the administration know the residents personally and take part in their care, also. Each month they have a "family dinner" for all, so I have been able to get to know many other of the caregivers. They also have a monthly support group for caregivers, which I attend and appreciate. I would definitely consider Autumn Leaves if you are in need of a good memory care facility.

We're very pleased with how things have gone with Clairy Pointe, they are an excellent memory care facility! The facility itself is a new building, so everything looks beautiful. The people here are all very kind and patient, and great at working with the residents. I love that they encourage my loved one to get out of her room and participate in the activities. I also like that they've got the residents divided into "neighborhoods" of similar levels of care. The only complaint I have is that the number of residents seems to be scaling up faster than their care staff, so they've been stretched a little thin lately. But I'm sure they'll keep themselves staffed appropriately as things go on.

We looked all over Wichita for a community for my mother and Cypress Springs seemed like the right fit for her dementia and all of her needs. We really liked the meaningful moments program they offer.

I really like the furnishings and cleanliness. They have lots of activities during the day to keep the residents busy and active. During the summer months they hane a van to take them on outings such as the Ice cream store and my mom truly enjoys that. The staff is friendly and caring to their residents. When I express a concern they act on it immediately. All in all it is a great place for my mom with dementia.

My father was here and we really liked the place. It was very nice, it was clean, of course, it's brand new - that really helped. The staff was great. We really liked everybody that we dealt with there. I think the only issue that we had is that they were a little short on help on the weekends and possibly in the evenings. I mean, he was never neglected and I'm sure that they're staff will grow as their number of residents grow. So other than that, we really liked the place and I would recommend it and I have recommended it to many people I've talked with.

We really liked it. He wasn't there very long before he passed away. They were easy to work with and we were very impressed with it. I think that they took good care of him. It had a very nice layout. I liked the secured entrance, more than secure front door. It was more like hallways that branched off from a central area than smaller neighborhoods. Overall, it was a good experience.

The staff cheerfully engage with the residents. They seem to truly care about the resident's well being & happiness. They kept my mom's room clean and free of tripping hazards. They get acquainted with the likes and dislikes of each individual & cater to their specific needs. Every staff member engages one way or another to the residents. Wonderful care.

For me, there wasn't much time. Literally less than a week to make the decision because of the rapid decline of my father. But honestly, I should have just gone with them after the initial tour/meeting. Even though they were the only place I had toured. Waiting and setting up other appointments to places wasted my time because then I wasn't able to set up the room fully before his check-in day. I had to let go of my idea of perfection because no facility is going to be perfect or how I would want it.

I am disappointed in the initial assessment of my sister. I feel like they assessed her incorrectly then raised the price after she was in the facility. Also, follow up from admin/nursing staff could be better. Follow up with doctors and family is slow and need constant reminders.

If your love one suffers from dementia with agitation and aggressive tendencies then Grace Point is not the facility. I must say they did try.

I've had issues with cleanliness of [name removed] room, but they are doing better. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

What they could improve on would be to have better activities for the residents, but overall it is a nice place. Yes, we would recommend Grace Point Place to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Every time I visit my mom, she appears to be well cared for. That is really the most important thing. She is always clean; her room is always clean and they're making sure she gets her medications as prescribed. The staff at Porter Place is doing for my mom all the things I struggled to accomplish while caring for her. The staff has also been responsive to my questions and proactive in communicating whenever there is something I should know. In short, Porter Place Memory Care is proving to be a Place for My Mom.

The food could be better. What we like the most about Willowbrook is the atmosphere and staff. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families.

Porter Place was a good fit for my Mom. The staff is very knowledgeable about dementia and are very caring.. They have a good schedule of activities to keep the residents engaged. I liked that they have safety in mind with their motion detection and cameras in the rooms so they can help prevent falls, and actively respond when one happens. The in house therapy team is great- worked to help my Mom gain strength back after a hospital stay.

The day staff are kind and attentive. The building smells good and has great light and we would recommend Churchill Place to other families who may need a place for their loved ones

The value for cost is grey area because the price has increased from the base price to over 50 percent then what we budgeted for [date removed] (when she was admitted) and now is more at prices elsewhere (which she will run out of funds much quicker)

Close to home and small enough to get personal with the residents! I would recommend to others.

Overall I'm as happy as you can be in this type of situation. My Mother is not as far along in her Alzheimer's as most are in this community so that has been a struggle for her as she is able/active physically, and there are a lot of people sitting around alone doing nothing. Nurses have been amazing and nice to my Mom. Could be some improvement in personal hygiene help with residents from CNAs. The front desk staff - [name removed] and [name removed]- THE BEST! I have anxiety every time I pull in the parking lot never knowing what I'll see or experience and they help put me at ease with a genuine hello and kind smile. My only main complaint is the smell when walking in from the lobby. It is masked with constant spraying of disinfectant in the air, that irritates lungs and it's a combo of food/urine/disinfectant. Really hard for me. If they can solve this problem, it would be FIVE STARS!! Bottom line, my mom is safe and looked out for at Porter Place.

[name removed] has amazing knowledge of the disease and helps you through the process to get your family member there and comfortable. They care about the families and the individuals they are taking care of. I have personally referred 3 families already. The other thing I found unique is the amount of training staff is receiving on how to deal with residents and the different stages of dementia. I feel this makes them above the rest in the area.
